3% Banker Commission Math Proof: 0.97:1 Payout & 0.1407% House Edge

Winning Banker bets return 0.97 units per unit wagered (3% commission). Typically structured through rolling-chip or loss-rebate agreements in private salons rather than walk-up main floor felts. At 3% commission, Banker house edge drops to 0.1407%—nearly nine times lower than the 1.2351% Player house edge on the same shoe. Multiplying 0.458597 Banker win rate by 0.97 net payout yields 0.444839, which minus 0.446247 Player loss rate equals −0.001407 per hand.

COMM3 COMBINATORIAL AUDIT

3% Banker Commission Math Proof: 0.97:1 Payout & 0.1407% House Edge — Exact 8-Deck Accounting

[COMM3-MECHANISM] Winning Banker bets return 0.97 units per unit wagered (3% commission). Typically structured through rolling-chip or loss-rebate agreements in private salons rather than walk-up main floor felts. Across Private VIP rolling-program salons and special tournament qualifiers, pit supervisors enforce this exact settlement table on every 416-card shoe.

[COMM3-PROOF] At 3% commission, Banker house edge drops to 0.1407%—nearly nine times lower than the 1.2351% Player house edge on the same shoe. Multiplying 0.458597 Banker win rate by 0.97 net payout yields 0.444839, which minus 0.446247 Player loss rate equals −0.001407 per hand. Because each six-card deal is governed by the fixed third-card tableau, scoreboard trends on Big Eye Boy, Small Road, and Cockroach Pig cannot shift the 0.1407% Banker expectation.
